We, the cloud computing evangelists and pundits, talk a lot about the scale offered by cloud platforms. There were three more examples to the idea of #cloudscale today. I just thought I will do a quick evening note to highlight these stories.

Rightscale launched its 3 Millionth server last night

Eucalyptus platform can now scale up to 100K nodes

As we speak, Heroku is supporting 200K apps

Thatz #cloudscale for which most of us get excited these days.

Krishnan –
We’ve definitely moved beyond “Blah Blah Cloud.” You say three ‘more’ examples… are there others top of mind that you can post? I’ll add a bit more to the 3MM servers number – each 1MM has taken us half the time to reach as the previous 1MM. #cloudscale is picking up speed.
